As of writing this, 3 scenarios have been completed. Here are some historical resources: > **[Wars of the Diadochi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Diadochi)** > > The Wars of the Diadochi (Ancient Greek: Πόλεμοι τῶν Διαδόχων, romanized: Pólemoi tōn Diadóchōn, lit. 'War of the Crown Princes') or Wars of Alexander's Successors of 322–272 BC were a series of conflicts fought between the generals of Alexander the Great, known as the Diadochi, over who would rule his empire following his death.
